hi all I had mirena inserted in 12/07 after my 3rd child. Last...

Don't wait if you don't feel well. You know your body more than your doctor. I had my mirena in for about 4 months and it was horrible. I am feeling so much better since it's been out, but it has taken time. My doctor was surprised with my side effects but trusted me and took it out. I've lost 7 pounds but not the weight I gained in all. I feel better. Do what you think is right for you!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

I agree with Dydee....I had mine for 5 months and it was awful. Had my first panic attack, serious insomnia, restlessness, terrible cystic acne....headaches...non-existent libido.....always bloated...dizziness...heart palpitations. As soon as it came out, it got better. Only thing I still have is occasional dizziness but nothing like before and it seems to be less and less as time goes by. You've had it for over 6 months, it may just not agree with you. Don't let it ruin your life....if you continue to feel bad, I would seriously consider having it removed. Take care.
